The Apple bias is overrated, it isn't that bad, just everyone keeps going on about it. Engadget seem never to respond to the accusations and now the feeling on the comments is very much that there is a bias.

The N900 has had a rough ride from them - but I think the blog is pitched at more of an 'apple' type gadgeteer than a 'linux' based one, and thus the N900 was never going to go down well. Let's be honest, it's a good device, but the iPhone is probably better for 9 out of 10 people. Hardware wise as well the iPhone is unmatched by anyone, and they like that kind of stuff.
